Print Recipe

Garlic Steak Tortellini is a cozy skillet dinner with tender steak, cheese-filled pasta, and a smooth garlic parmesan cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz cheese tortellini, fresh or refrigerated
  • 1 lb steak, sirloin or ribeye
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups parmesan, shredded or freshly grated
  • Chopped parsley, optional
  • Red pepper flakes, optional
  • Cracked black pepper, optional garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well and keep aside.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then sear for 3-5 minutes until browned. Transfer the steak to a plate.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir the sauce and let it gently bubble for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add the parmesan a little at a time, stirring until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  6. Return the steak and cooked tortellini to the skillet. Toss for about 2 minutes, until the pasta and steak are coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Finish with parsley, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot right from the skillet.

Notes

  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Rewarm slowly over low heat with a small splash of milk or cream to help the sauce turn silky again.
